Greenbush SC Premier

The Greenbush EDP Level is the most competitive phase in our player pathway.

• Premier is for those players who are fully committed to train and play at the highest of levels the Capital Region and surrounding areas have to offer.
• Commitment level is expected to increase.
• Focus for players shifts from technical mastery to more tactical, physical, and mental awareness
• For those players interested in less commitment at this age level, if numbers allow we will offer a less competitive player pathway as well.

Greenbush SC is excited about the 2024-2025 program and the changes that have been made.

This season the boys and girl’s teams will be playing in a different league (TBD) other than CDYSL.

• For those players interested in less commitment at this age level, we will offer a CDYSL team as well.
